Drury-Opāheke and Pukekohe-Paerata Structure Plan Draft Integrated Transport Assessment 2 April 2019 Document Status Responsibility Name Author Liam Winter, Senior Planner Reviewer Andrew Murray, Transport Planning lead Approver Andrew Murray, Transport Planning lead Disclaimer: At the time of production of this ITA, the SGA draft business case for the Southern Area has not been approved by both the Auckland Transport and NZ Transport Agency Boards (due by mid-2019). Projects identified in this ITA are therefore indicative only and subject to change. Projects are also yet to be prioritised for funding and delivery over the next 30 years, and will require further technical investigations and consultation to confirm detailed location and land requirements. They may also require statutory approvals, which will be subject to the Resource Management Act 1991 and the Land Transport Management Act 2003.
